Popular Ciaz Reviews

Maruti Ciaz turned the game in the c-segment space where Honda City and Hyundai Verna have been ruling the roost. The car has all the needed ingredients for a perfect family sedan, but for enthusiasts, the vehicle lacks the required punch in driving. And I too felt that when I drive my friend?s petrol powered Ciaz when we were for a long excursion in Rajasthan. All the time I felt that it needs some bump in power figures. And on paper too, 92 PS and 130Nm of torque for a car of this stature is n... 21

I bought the car in Dec 2017 and I am extremely disappointed with the car after driving it for two months.
Driver Side Door:
My biggest complaint is about the driver side door. I have to literally bang it every time to close it. A normal swing of the door does not close the door and you may be swinging it multiple times normally before banging the door closed in anger. :( I am told this is an issue faced by lots of Ciaz Owners. So please watch out before you buy. Interior:

CarDekho Verdict

Maruti Suzuki has played its cards safe, be it with regards to design, the choice of engines or the features on offer.

"The aggressive pricing is the icing on the cake."

Pick the Ciaz if you need nothing else but a comfortable, value for money sedan.

Background & Evolution

The Ciaz replaces the SX4 in the Maruti portfolio. However, it shares no traits other than the diesel engine with the outgoing sedan. The Ciaz is an all new product for Maruti, built from the ground up. The Ciaz diesel got Suzuki’s acclaimed SHVS technology in late 2015. Also, to spice things up, Maruti offers a sporty ‘RS’ bodykit with the sedan as well.
